    U2 Release 'Artificial Horizon' Remix Album

    • Posted on Mar 18th 2010 1:00PM by Emily Tan
    • Comments (0)
    U2While U2 still hasn't released their promised follow-up to 'No Line on the Horizon,' the band has something to hold fans over, as they've released a new album of remixed tracks called 'Artificial Horizon.'

    The triple-vinyl album features 13 songs remixed by some of today's top DJs and producers, including Influx, Justice and Hot Chip. Even Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor makes an appearance with a new version of 'Vertigo.' The collector's set is similar to 1995's 'Melon: Remixes for Propaganda,' which was a fan club exclusive.

    Sum 41 Interview: SXSW 2010

    Sum 41Canadian pop-punk rock heroes Sum 41 have been busy in the studio working on the band's forthcoming album, which frontman Deryck Whibley says is "a whole different animal" from anything they've ever done.

    Before the band unveils their new music at SXSW, Whibley took some time to chat with Spinner about his love of Sinatra, his ex-wife and almost being killed in the Congo.



    Describe your sound in your own words.

    Cocky.

    How did your band form?

    We started in tenth grade in high-school, we were the only ones in school who really played any instruments. I hated everyone in my school and they hated me so I radiated towards the musicians... we became Sum 41.

    Flying Lotus Bring Audio-Visual Specatucar to SXSW

    Flying LotusTrust us -- you're going to be hearing a lot about Flying Lotus in the next several months. FlyLo capped off the Warp Records showcase by pulling out an unprecedented move: starting 10 minutes early, a SXSW record or miracle. But up close, you could tell he was excited to get going, as this was the first time he was debuting visuals to go along with his set, at least in the United States.

    All we can say is do not look directly into the visuals if you experience any form of seizures. While FlyLo's forthcoming release 'Cosmogramma' showcases an intense layering of high and low-range sounds, his SXSW set honed more into the low ranges, with beats taken on a fast yet shifting tone throughout. At many points, while flashes of strippers and body parts and kaleidoscope style squares and rectangles showered viewers' eyes, Flying Lotus himself was simulating the part of mad scientist onstage, literally.

    Das Racist Confirm They Aren't Nas or Damian Marley at SXSW

    Das RacistDas Racist, the New York hip-hop duo who broke out last summer with their infectious child-rap 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell,' opened their stint at SXSW 2010 by telling the crowd that they were not Nas or Damian Marley, who were special surprise guests at the Fader Fort across town.

    Instead, they claimed to be the Cool Kids, then Vivian Girls, then Dum Dum Girls and then Vampire Weekend. No one seemed to buy it. Also mentioned was a bit of trouble they ran into with the venue's staff who apparently didn't let them inside for 20 minutes. Das Racist had only one explanation for this: "they're racist."

    Sandra Bernhard Guests With the Scissor Sisters in NYC

    On Wednesday night, the Scissor Sisters played their first show of 2010 at New York's Bowery Ballroom, and what a show it was. The electro-glam quintet pulled out all the stops, mixing new songs with older hits, as well as a cover of Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb.'

    With fans gawking at attendees Lou Reed and Alan Cumming, the highlight of the 15-song set was an appearance by Sandra Bernhard. The comedian, actress and musician helped out on vocals on 'Tits on the Radio' from the band's self-titled debut. Check out a highly-distorted video of the song after the jump.

    Nneka Shares Her 'Heartbeat' at SXSW

    • Posted on Mar 18th 2010 11:30AM by Charley Rogulewski

    NnekaEven a hurt leg isn't going to stop Nneka from performing at SXSW. "I wish I could dance," the Nigerian singer-songwriter reluctantly told the crowd at the Austin Day Stage before plunging into the song 'Kangpe,' complete with a scat solo from her bassist.

    Nneka has already heralded countless comparisons to fellow alternative soul sisters Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu for her ability to bridge neo-soul, reggae and hip-hop on her debut 'Concrete Jungle,' but with only a handful of US shows under her belt, she has yet to display her convictions -- rooted in the pangs and struggles of Africa -- live.

    Everyone's favourite whiskey-swigging, wart-faced rock 'n' rollers Motorhead have announced a plethora of UK dates in commemoration of their 35th anniversary.

    The three week jaunt begins up north in Aberdeen on Nov. 8 before closing down at the other end of the country in Brighton on Nov 28.
